Controversial social media critic Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has issued a bold response to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following their invitation for him to assist in an investigation related to bribery allegations involving the agency’s officials.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, VeryDarkMan stated, “The EFCC’s press release didn’t even address the core issue. Why didn’t they confirm that Bobrisky was in their custody?” He criticized the EFCC for failing to verify claims regarding cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, who allegedly paid N15 million to drop money laundering charges.
Challenging the commission, he said, “Before inviting someone like me, you should first conduct a thorough investigation of your officers, especially those involved in Bobrisky’s case. Examine their accounts and actions. Only after that can you invite me.”

VeryDarkMan expressed skepticism about the EFCC’s integrity, stating he would only consider responding to their invitation if it was handled at the agency’s Abuja headquarters.
“You’re asking me to come to Lagos when the EFCC headquarters is in Abuja—it doesn’t make sense,” he noted, suggesting that Bobrisky should be summoned to Abuja for the investigation instead.
He further added, “I don’t have N15 million to settle anything, and I don’t have a godfather. I don’t trust you, and you could easily set me up. Investigate your officers first, then talk to me.”
Jokingly, he mentioned that any potential trip to meet with the EFCC would require luxury accommodations: “Even if I want to come you have to book me a first-class ticket and a five-star hotel. You can send me an invitation to come with my money, no be me collect N15 million now,” he quipped.
